New DrySyn Configurations Remove the Need for Dangerous Oil Baths in Chemistry Labs

Asynt releases two new configurations for the DrySyn system of laboratory heating blocks. The DrySyn Multi M and Multi S each provide a compact reaction station for up to three standard round bottomed flasks and used with a hotplate stirrer can be used to replace oil bathsand can heat a reaction flask 25% faster than an oil bath.

DrySyn heating blocks offer excellent heating performance up to 300ºC, a small footprint and exceptional reaction visibility, and are fully compatible with magnetic stirring. The 3-way Multi Clamps make it quick and easy to secure flasks in place. An additional economy is that existing DrySyn Multi users can use their DrySyn inserts in the Multi M and Multi S – they are directly compatible. DrySyn blocks are made of chemically resistant, 100% recyclable aluminium.

DrySyn heating blocks also offer an excellent alternative to heating mantles, which can not only be a potential fire hazard with flammable solvents but, because a different unit must be used for each flask size, are considerably more expensive. DrySyn’s combination of safety and economy has made the concept particularly popular in teaching laboratories, where a single unit can provide heating facilities for several students.
